Methods for the Preparation of Alkane, Alkene, and Alkyne Diazo Compounds Inorganic Diazo Compounds and Metal Complexes with Dinitrogen as Ligand Kinetics and Mechanism of Aliphatic Diazotizations The Structure of Aliphatic Diazo Compounds Reactions of Aliphatic Diazo and Diazonium Compounds not Involving Initial Dediazoniation Reactions Involving Carbene and Carbenoid Intermediates Miscellaneous Reactions Involving Diazo and Related Compounds Metal Complexes of Diazonium and Diazo Compounds Epilogue: From Peter Griess' Discovery to Organometallic Diazo Compounds
Diazo compounds play an important role as reaction intermediates and reagents in organic synthesis. This book is a critical, well- referenced and eminently readable introduction to the chemistry of aliphatic, inorganic and organometallic diazo compounds. It provides well-researched information that could otherwise be obtained only by costly and time-consuming searches of multi-volume treatises and the original literature.; Topics covered in depth include: - preparation and structure of diazo compounds - kinetics and mechanism of diazotizations - reactions of diazo compounds - applications in o.
